What are the challenges in developing alternative catalytic materials?
Despite their promise, alternative materials face several challenges:
Stability: Many alternative materials may not be as stable under harsh reaction conditions compared to traditional catalysts. Scalability: The production of some alternative materials at an industrial scale can be complex and costly. Reproducibility: Ensuring consistent performance across different batches of alternative materials remains a significant hurdle. Integration: Incorporating new materials into existing industrial processes may require significant modifications.
